阅读理解。     When I was a girl of 10, I joined the school cross-country team and practiced twice a week, on the
1,8-km course I"d never really run before and I thought the course would be easy. It was a real shock I ran
out of breathe (喘气) within the first few minutes. I never realized how tiring running could be but I didn"t
think about give up.   
     Over time, I did get a little bit faster. However, I was really slow. In races, I would finish close to last.
I"d always have to stop more than once, especially in the longer races, which were 2. 5 to 2. 8 km. After
every race, I"d go home and cry. But 1 still didn"t stop running, holding onto that picture of crossing the
finishing line and finally doing well.
     Then one of my friends joined the team, too. She could run easily and even came in the 18th in a big race!
I felt so slow and my confidence (自信) was lower than ever. I became so nervous when I thought of the
races that I wanted to give up badly.
     Still. I refund to. Finally. I realized that the reason I was to nervous was that I was always worried that
I wasn"t ready for them. So a few weeks before the next 2. 8-km race. I practiced running almost 3 km every
day. which helped me improve my pace (步伐).
     When the time came for the big race, all that practicing really paid off. I stopped only once and my pace
was so much better.
     I realized that I"d finally gotten happiness with running. But the funny thing was. It didn"t come from
doing better, Instead, it came from the fact that I hid tried harder and never given up. 1. Before she took the 1.8-km course, the writer ________. A. knew a lot about it
B. wanted to be a great runner
C. practiced running every day
D. never thought running so tired 2. The writer was nervous about the race because she _______. A. had to stop to drink water
B. was worried she wasn"t ready
C. run slower than anyone else
D. could find no coach to help her3. The underlined phrase "paid off" probably mean "______". A. brought good results
B. coat a lot
C. saved much time
D. came to fail 4. It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that the writer ______.A. got angry with her friend
B. wasn"t pleased with herself
C. was a person with a strong mind

     Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer (志愿者). The 29-year-old American was not sure if he
had the skills or a strong feeling for it. However, he went to work at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Nepal. His first
thought was to make people impressed.

the kids." he told the Reuters reporter."I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with
24 photos, and I found 24 families."

     Grennan said,"Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives."

     I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the
newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a.m.
and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m., the only time I could go to the cinema was during
my 45 minutes" lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service
between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip
in 45 minutes.
     Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round
the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on
Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at
the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard
one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line.
I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
     By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be
worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached
the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because
they had already sold out all the tickets.

C. surprised
D. pleased
4. Which of the following is true according to the story?
A. The writer was too busy to have time for a rest during the day.
B. The buses running between his office and Richland Hills were always on time on Thursday.
C. He could buy the tickets neither before nor after work hours.
D. It always took him about twenty minutes to get to the cinema by bus.

     An American named Crum invented potato chips in 1853, although that was not his intention (意图). He
was a chef (厨师长) at a beautiful restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. A regular dish on the menu
was fried (油炸的) potatoes, which was an ides that had started in France. At that time, French fried potatoes
were cut into thick slices (片).
     One day, a dinner guest at the restaurant sent back his fried potatoes to the chef because he did not like
them so thick. So Mr Crum cut the potatoes a little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either.
That made Mr Crum angry, so he thought he would just show the man. He sliced the potatoes paper-thin and
fried them, thinking that the man would say nothing about it. However, to his surprise, the man loved the thin
potatoes very much. Other guests tried them and liked them. So, Mr Crum"s potato chips were added to the
menu. They were called Saratoga Chips.
     Finally, Mr Crum opened his own restaurant to sell his famous chips. Now potato chips are packaged (包
装) and sold in stores.
